Pray this Lazaroo in steadfast faith:

“They…came to Joshua…and told him everything that had happened to them.”
(Joshua 2:23)

Joshua was eager to hear their report, Jesus!

After all, he had sent them to spy out the land.

But there aren’t many people in my life eager to hear

everything that’s happened to me.

They might not mind hearing the highlights

but the more detailed I become
the more their minds wander.

It takes a real friend

to genuinely want to hear the whole story.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning zeal:

“They…forded the river…”
(Joshua 2:23)

– the very river the entire army was about to cross on dry land, Jesus!

But this first time
Joshua’s two spies had to get wet to make it across.

No surprise.

You do it both ways, don’t You?

Sometimes You perform a miracle.

But most of the time You supply the strength
for me to accomplish Your tasks the old-fashioned way

requiring me to work, stretch, struggle.

But that’s okay!

Either way…

I win.

Pray this Lazaroo in passionate anticipation:

“They went down out of the hills…”
(Joshua 2:23)

When I’m up high, Jesus, it’s hard to leave

especially when I’ve been alone with You.

Of course, Joshua’s two spies had been hiding out for their lives in those hills.

But my guess is, while they were hiding

they were praying.

No one can hide me like You can –

nor equip me when it’s time to come down out of the hills
to face the brutality of the valley.
